check this site out for wheel weights. It's very informative. Volks are pretty nice. You will need for find out what the max width of tire will fit under your well & what size you want... this will determine what wheel width you should have. Don't add weight by buying 8" wide wheels if your only going to run 215 wide tires. Just a though.

I'm for Bronze or gunmetal on white... They would both look great, but I think I would end up with... hmmmmmm This is a tough one... I think Bronze would just edge out Gunmetal if it were my car, but it's a tough choice. White would blend too much as I have seen on cars and black never seams to look good on white cars. I'll see if I can find some pics for you...
